processor ie issues

Hello, For some reason, taks manager seems to believe that my processor is running (on average) above 80%. However, at any given time, the actual cumulative total from the CPU column doesn't come anywhere near the total TM seems to think is being used. Any suggestions? Also, in IE, when I click a link that opens a new window (like the one that opens the window for this page) the page never loads. I just get an hourglass next to my pointer and if I click anywhere in the window, I get the 'Dong' sound. I have to copy the address bar, then paste it in a normal IE window. I have disable Protected Mode and that seems to take care of the issue, but it's not a good fix. Any suggestions there? Thanks!

Even with a click on "Show processes from all users" button on the Task Manager? (for the 1st question)

Well, that solves the first question. Oddly enough, I'm the only user do I didn't think that would matter. But there still is the issue with IE 7. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. And it's much easier for me to respond to e-mail with the way IE is acting. lray801@hotmail.com Thanks!

Update: I have found that with IE, I can stop the loading of the page, then hit 'Refresh' and it will load normally. However, IE seems to be eating a lot of my processor. I have seen that posted earlier, but not seen any solutions. Did I miss one? Thanks!!!
